Perform genetic crosses of Drosophila melanogaster. Students will collect data from F1 and F2 generations. They will then analyze results from monohybrid, dihybrid or sex-linked crosses using chi-square analysis. Students will also evaluate whether genes are autosomal or sex-linked. Background information includes detailed, illustrated coverage of D. melanogaster’s life cycle, sexing D. melanogaster, various observable genetic traits, and an overview of statistical analysis.
